Summary

Wie Eleanor Oliphant die Liebe suchte und sich selbst dabei fand.

Eleanor Oliphant ist anders als andere Menschen. Eine Pizza bestellen, mit Freunden einen schönen Tag verbringen, einfach so in den Pub gehen? Für Eleanor undenkbar! Und das macht ihr Leben auf Dauer unerträglich einsam. Erst als sie sich verliebt, wagt sie sich zaghaft aus ihrem Schneckenhaus - und lernt dabei nicht nur die Welt, sondern auch sich selbst noch einmal neu kennen.

Mit ihrem Debüt "Ich, Eleanor Oliphant" ist Gail Honeyman ein anrührender Roman mit einer unvergesslichen Hauptfigur gelungen. Ihre erfrischend schräge Sicht auf die Dinge zeigt uns, was im Leben wirklich zählt. Liebe. Hoffnung. Ehrlichkeit. Und vor allen Dingen die Freundschaft.

Simply super!

I'm a native English speaker. Having loved this book in English, I was so pleased to see the German translation as I am currently working on my German. The translation has been done so beautifully. Maybe because I have to listen more closely, I've found Eleanor and her story to be even more touching, lighter, sadder, more uplifting. A real treat to the ears and the soul.

Eleanor couldn't change the past . . .

Eleanor is a loner, who does not allow herself to interact with others more than necessary. As the story progresses, she decides to seek help through a therapist, and it is during those sessions that the reader learns more about what has made her, who she is. With that and her growing friendship with Raymond she starts to accept the past and her life starts to change for the better. Although a lot of the reviews found this story depressing, I thoroughly enjoyed it. For me it ended on a happy note, whereby Eleanor accepted the past and could now finally move forward.

And to think I almost didn't purchase this novel because listening to the sample English narration hurt my ears. When I saw it came in other languages, for me German, that sealed the deal. Please note that my ratings are based on that narration.

Dang! It’s in German!

Should have paid closer attention when I purchased! Waste of money which is a shame, as I’m sure it was a good book.
